West Ham has confirmed the signing of Premier League veteran Patrice Evra on a short-term contract until the end of June 2018.

Evra has been without a club since he was released by Marseille in November and banned from UEFA competition for an altercation with a fan. Capped 81 times by France, the 36-year-old arrives at West Ham having previously worked under David Moyes at former club Manchester United. The 36-year-old won five Premier League titles and made 379 appearances during his eight-and-half-years at United, with 30 of those matches coming under Moyes in 2013/14. With Arthur Masuaku serving a six-match ban, Evra will likely serve as a vastly-experienced back-up on the left side of defense. Feb 7 - 11:00 AM

Manchester United legend and free agent Patrice Evra is expected to sign with West Ham on Wednesday.

Reports across England have confirmed that Evra has been in talks to sign with the Hammers on a free with Everton also interested in a move. The French international last played for Marseille in November, before he was released by the club and banned from UEFA competition for an altercation with a fan. The 36-year-old will bring a wealth of experience to the side after making 379 appearances for Manchester United, where he played under current West Ham boss David Moyes. Feb 6 - 9:17 PM

Patrice Evra's long-rumored move from Manchester United to Juventus has been confirmed by the Turin club via their official Twitter account.

Manchester United have had an interesting summer at the left back position. Seldom-used reserve Alex Buttner left early in the transfer window after Luke Shaw arrived for a wildly expensive fee. Evra's departure means that Manchester United have a 19-year-old and not much else at the position. Recruiting a high quality reserve (Ricardo Rodriguez and Daley Blind) will be difficult because it will be (rightly) hard to convince anyone with prospects that Luke Shaw won't get the majority of the minutes. At the same time, it will be hard for Louis Van Gaal to rely on such a young player consistently when the stakes get higher. United's next step will be very interesting. Mon, Jul 21, 2014 11:57:00 AM
